About Dolphin
Neighbourhood pub serving a simple menu, whose formal garden was designed by a local firm.
There has been a pub on this site for over 200 years, though the current building dates from the 1930s when it was rebuilt by Courage in the Brewers' Tudor style. Subsequently, the interior has been opened up to form a single bar area. A large, landscaped garden with fountains and sculpture is situated at the rear. As well as four real ales on handpump, there is also a selection of craft beers. Run by the same company that runs The Dartmouth Arms, Forest Hill and The Duke, Deptford.

I really enjoy coming to the Dolphin as it's our local pub. We went out for Sunday roast last week, and the beef roast was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. We have a small baby and this pub is children friendly as well as has a good quality baby change room.

Really great spot . Nice atmosphere and great vibe! The food was delicious. We’re visiting from America and enjoyed the roast offered on Sunday! The garden was Lovely, and the staff was accommodating when we wanted to move inside as it got a little chilly later in the day Will definitely visit again

It's a wonderful place to enjoy yourself out in the yard. We ordered a pizza, really nice, just the anchor was slightly salty.

Such lovely staff and attentive service, delicious pizzas and wine. Gorgeous spacious garden, and also lovely inside. I’ve been meeting a friend here regularly over the years and we always have a great night.
